Functional Analysis and Allocation is a top-down process of translating system level requirements into detailed functional and performance design criteria. The result of the process is a defined Functional Architecture with allocated system requirements that are traceable to each system function. SMC Systems Engineering Handbook – Figure15: Functional Analyss and Allocation The Functional Analysis and […]

The Functional Area Analysis (FAA) identifies the operational tasks, conditions, and standards needed to achieve military objectives. The FAA uses the national strategies (National Military Strategy, National Defense Strategy, National Security Strategy), the Family of Joint Future Concepts, and other assigned missions to arrive at a prioritized list of capabilities and tasks that must be

A feasibility assessment is a study to determine if the requirements of a project or a program can be met within the cost, schedule, and performance constraints of the project or program. Feasibility Assessment Goals The goal of the assessment is to determine if the requirements can be met with the anticipated technology. A secondary

Design Synthesis is the process of taken the functional architecture developed in the Functional Analysis and Allocation step and decomposing those functions into a Physical Architecture (a set of product, system, and/or software elements) that satisfy system required functions. SMC Systems Engineering Handbook, Figure 17 Synthesis is the process whereby the Functional Architectures and their

The Capability Production Document (CPD) captures the information necessary to support production, testing, and deployment of an affordable and supportable increment within an acquisition strategy. The CPD identifies, in threshold/objective format, the specific attributes that contribute most significantly to the desired full operational capability of a system. The CPD is prepared during the Engineering &
